[02:34]	TR News	"Yes. AI is magic. It causes jobs to disappear in the West and then magically reappear in India. But I have a hunch the pendulum will soon swing back.

[02:35]	TR News	"They are all lying. IBM is the worst company who has lied for 3 decades as it sheds US employees and moves jobs to countries few people can find on a map. Stop the lying about how great watsonx is, how great AskHR is, how great AskIT is. A high school freshman could create better systems."
[02:35]	TR News	"IBM is now shouting from the mountains they plan to hire 3-6x more "entry level" people and pair them with AI as that combo is now better than experienced people. SMH. So much lying. Fire band 9 and 10s and replace with band 6 and 7s. They need to be call out loudly and often."
[02:36]	TR News	"AI is just another excuse for IBM to RA employees. Same as it ever was, as the song goes. IBM's figurative di-k must hurt badly from sc--wing so may employees up the a-s. And no, ChatGPT, I don't need you to help me "craft a more measured critique." IBM management can eat sh-t."
